Why is military technology going so slow?

Like, if you're Russian, look at the fucking picture, copy the shit and you have a jet, roll it out, test it and improve if it fails, why is there a 20 year gap between F16 and F22?

Is it the incompetence of government?

Do you have any fucking idea about how much money these latest tech weapon cost?!
Not just to make but to research, prototype, test, etc.

No, you do not. Now shut your stupid fucking face.

We build newest attack fighter craft using secret stolen american capitalist design program, Kerbal Space Program, efficiency of Ivan improve by minus 200 percent

If you haven't noticed there isn't a world or cold war on. Yet.

The only incompetence I'm seeing here is asking a question, not bothering to research the costs, time and labour involved and then proceed to blame the government.

Just be grateful that people like you aren't involved in the slowly advancing military.

because you need a stable economy to manufacture this

Nigga that's what I'm about. Put these motherfuckers to work, not watch porn all day

Who here honestly thinks that fighter jets are going to play a vital role in the next war?
>>
>>52222621
Unmanned fighter jets are. Humans are the bottleneck right now.

Because there's no real threats anymore, just military industrial complex and third world shitholes that can't afford anything new

B-but North Korea!

>>52222242
In terms of what? We don't have ion drives or warp drives or hyper drives because they're not real. (Ion drives are, but they're have too low power/weight ratio.)

As for weapons, the Chinese just announced their 2nd gen laser weapons.

Hahaha, well memed. White women were specifically engineered for black men by no one but God himself.

Current weapons kill just fine, besides, unmanned aircraft tech has advanced a lot in the last 5 years alone.
That has a limited use tho.

Cloud will scatter the laser bro. So will fog, dust storms

>>52222869
These are literally gigawatt class laser. I doubt they can be scattered that much. Do you have sources on your claims?

Oh look, the new fighter jet still got wings.
There is no progress in Technology.

Really?

>>52222907
That's a mild fog. You can still see the sun so obviously some % of light would get through. Pretty cool that they are able to aim through fog but nonetheless they lose power and range.

If they figure out how to shoot through a cloud that blocks sunlight, then they've got it covered.

That's why only 2% of white people marry other races, right?

Well..automation is becoming quite the thing.

The US, China, Russia, and other players with lots of money for imperialism might start looking and developing killer robots so they don't need to send valuable humans into war zones.

It'll end up being a battle between minds. Not strength. Who every can come up with a indestructible robot that can destroy legions of robots will be very valuable.
